Japan makes some of the best knives As for Parker in the 80s, Bulldog in 2001, they both had some knives made in japan. Cant find anything on morley and sons

Resurrecting an old thread due to a recent find. Found this W.H. Morley & Sons Germany whittler (?), each blade has a 4 leaf clover stamped on the opposite side. Goins says 1913-1927. The scales aren't in the best condition, maybe pressed stag? 3 3/8" closed, not much blade loss, great walk & talk, 1/2 stops on the smaller blades, wedged backsprings with a tapered brass spacer.

Nice knife, Redrider.
I have a few smaller Morleys. I really like them. All of mine are well made and I like their little clover leaf on the pile side.

[1967redrider]

Thanks, Joe. Have you posted yours anywhere?

[FRJ]

I may have posted some in a "Congress" thread.
It's been a while.

I don't have pictures of them anymore. I lost all my pictures.

Here are a few Morley knives from my accumulation.

[1967redrider]

Those are nice, Ray. That multi-tool is pretty impressive, thanks for posting.

[doglegg]

Ray I really like that ring turn knife. Sweet.

[FRJ]

Here's a couple of Morley's.

[1967redrider]

Awesome duo, Joe!

[FRJ]

Thank you, redrider.

I found another Morley

Love those stag handles. And I think my A.W. Bradshaw & Sons - Germany, came from the same factory as your Morely's. The stag is near identical, as is the font used in the tang stamp. (specifically the "W" )

I agree, very unique. I think Lyle might have been the one who found the term, "pressed stag." I guess it was a way for early makers to give a knife more character, and I like it.
